Where Shadows Meet
It’s 1996, and the Internet feels like a place where anyone can disappear—and become someone else.
Therapist Eileen Duet spends her days helping troubled patients while her own life quietly unravels. Trapped in a lonely marriage and exhausted by the demands of her work, she finds unexpected comfort in anonymous online conversations with a stranger called Sweetdude35. He listens. He understands. And behind the safety of a screen, Eileen begins revealing truths she has kept hidden from everyone around her.
Then she agrees to meet him.
What begins as an innocent escape suddenly threatens her career, her reputation, and her sense of reality. As secrets within her marriage and family surface, Eileen discovers that deception is not confined to cyberspace—and the people closest to her may be hiding lives she never imagined.
Set during the dawn of online relationships, e-THERAPY: Where Shadows Meet is a psychological thriller about intimacy, betrayal, professional boundaries, and the dangerous distance between who we are and who we pretend to be.
